Powerful, end-to-end teaching, learning and assessment programmes, delivered in partnership with the British Council. Now available for institutions around the world.
HOW DOES ADVANCING ACHIEVEMENT WORK?
1. LEARNING
Learners are engaged in a positive English language learning environment, backed by powerful digital tools for maximising outcomes.
In this collaborative space, the human drive to communicate and connect flourishes, and progress flows naturally.
2. GROWTH
With a strong focus on social-emotional learning (SEL), our learners build the skills to engage positively and productively with the world around them.
English becomes part of a whole system of empowerment that enables them to think and dream bigger, and take control of their future.
3. PROGRESS CHECKING
Robust progress checking is embedded throughout every programme, to keep learning on track at all times.
This assessment is entirely non-disruptive and in step with the natural flow and joy of learning.
4. EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT
British Council’s engaging tests provide an external measure of success, build confidence and motivation, and open doors to the next stage.
Delivering rich, useful results, the tests engage learners by using tasks and topics relevant to them.
5. SUPPORT
Comprehensive support throughout every programme means every teacher can access the tools and resources to help them teach and develop professionally.
Every learner is also supported and nurtured as an individual on a unique journey to fulfilling their own potential.
